Verified Passenger Reviews

What's an "Verified Passenger" review?

When a product review is marked Verified Passenger, it means that the customer who wrote the review booked the cruise at Smartcruiser.com. This
label is automatically applied when the review is published based on if we have record of the customer sailing on the ship. Customers reading a
Smartcruiser.com Verified Passenger review can use this information to help them decide which reviews are most helpful in their purchasing decisions.

If a review is not marked Verified Passenger, it doesn't mean that the reviewer has no experience with the product -- it just means we couldn't
verify that it had been purchased at Smartcruiser.com. They may have purchased the item elsewhere or had some other interaction with it. If we could somehow
validate their experience with the product, we certainly would. The Verified Passenger label offers one more way to help gauge the quality and
relevance of a product review.
